HUNGRY GERALD

BSK’s birthday is June 3–she’s svelte, lithe,chic. The years have been gentle to her. Birthday gift is a massage at a nearby Prince Edward Island spa. On their first date–many, many decades ago–HG and BSK dined at BoBo’s, a very good Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. BSK was entranced by the giant lobster roll (BoBo’s is long closed). Next dinner was at Ed Berberian’s Balkan-Armenian; HG was startled by BSK’s appetite and adventurous food tastes. Big test was dinner at Hong Fat—crabs in an egg and garlic sauce. BSK gobbled them up. HG  determined she would be his wife. Best decision HG ever made. BSK has kept HG alive with 24/7 loving care. She has become an outstanding home cook–lunch and supper are gourmand treats. Yes, HG is a lucky guy. He’s 96 with many old ailments. But, for the most part, he’s quite happy. And, he owes it all to a true Wonder Woman—BSK
